Quick Summary
-------------
All cards are dealt face up in a 13x4 formation and the aces
removed. By moving cards into the holes left, try and arrange
the cards from 2-K from left to right in each suit.
You may only move a card into a hole if the card to the left is
one lower in the same suit (e.g. 10S next to the 9S). A two can
be moved into any gap on the left hand side and no card can be
You have two chances to re-deal all of the available cards (i.e.
those not forming a suit sequence starting from 2 on the left
hand side). These cards are gathered, shuffled then delt and the
aces removed.
Each card is worth its face value (2-10) with J=11, Q=12 and K=13.
You only score with cards which have been arranged correctly. A
bonus may be awarded on finishing the game making the maximum
score possible 400 points.

Registration
============
Montana is supplied to you as try-before-you-buy shareware. If, after
a reasonable period like 21 days, you would be unwilling to lose
Montana, you should pay the purchase price. We will send you a fine
registration certificate to prove you've done the decent thing!
If you don't pay, nothing bad will happen, but your conscience will
nag just the same as leaving a store without paying for your shopping.
'Shareware' is just a distribution method, like 'Retail', but with the
advantage that you'll never waste money on software you don't need.
How to pay
----------
To pay for Montana, do one of the following. £ refers to pounds sterling,
$ refers to US dollars.

-----------
We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express. We charge £6 to the card
and you eventually pay your local equivalent, without either of us going
through the expensive business of currency exchange. You need to send us
your card number and expiry date together with your name and the address
